Star Trek: Picard “Broken Pieces” – Review

Warning: The following article may contain language not suitable for all. Reader’s discretion is advised. I was about to say “Two out of nine ain’t bad,” but the reality is that six and a half hours in, bad would be putting it…

Star Trek: Picard “Nepenthe” – Review

Living in the woods with Marina Sirtis and in your garden you’ve a stone wood-fired pizza oven? Living the dream, living the damn dream Riker, living the dream. Written by Chabon and Sam Humphrey, “Nepenthe” is the only writing credit for Samantha…

Fallout Season 1 Review

It’s outstanding to see video game adaptations go from abominable Ewe Boll disasterpieces to some of the most engrossing media available. Whether it’s the redemption arc that Cyberpunk: Edgerunners kickstarted or the massive renewed interest of The Last of Us‘ season one, non-gamers are drawn…

Star Trek: Picard “The Impossible Box” – Review

Star Trek: Picard “Absolute Candor” – Review

I think it is appropriate that when I sat down to write and watch Picard today, I cocked my leg over my chair and shouted “Riker!” We’re finally moving forward, we’ve got some proper Picard-ing going on, there is some decent direction, and it…

Star Trek: Picard “The End is the Beginning” – Review

Star Trek: Picard “Maps and Legends” – Review

Warning: The following article may contain language not suitable for all. Reader’s discretion is advised. Fantastic, I’m sure the working Joes from Alien: Isolation did nothing wrong 14 years ago on Mars. Oh right, that was the entire point last episode with the TV…
